Deep machine learning drives Loop AI quest

Bart Peintner has been closely involved with important developments in artificial intelligence through its recent resurgence. At SRI, one of the world’s hotbeds of AI research, he pursued work that pressed the limits of natural language processing and user-behavior modeling. Now, as CTO and co-founder of startup Loop AI Labs, he is furthering the cause of unsupervised machine intelligence — also known as deep machine learning — for applications. It’s important because teaching machines to do human’s work can be labor intensive.When did you start Loop AI Labs, and what was the underlying goal? Bart Peintner: We founded the company in 2012. At that time we were doing a type of natural language understanding that was focused on understanding people from what they say. As we went along, we found…
